That Tarantulas looks amazing, even if he doesn't turn into a spider.

My main decision will be: should those spider things be left as his drones, or should he have his claws?

choices, choices...

On the odd chance that anyone is more Classics minded than BW, I have a TFSS 1.0 Breakdown I could trade for Tarantulas. PM me, and if you need feedback I have plenty at TFW

Now we just have Krok, Starscream, and our mystery figure. Which is probably Nightracer, but I had this horrible nightmare where it was a neon orange legends megatron repaint that somehow rides on starscream's back.

Oh, so THAT's what those are. I gather they don't attach to the bike, huh? Are they entirely new pieces or retooled from something else?

Redecos of Ida, the Arms Micron that came with Airachnid.

So, refresh my memory, is the main break point on this mold the fingers snapping off if you actually have him hold his axe, like with the ROTF Bludgeon mold? Cuz I just put it in his right hand once, and already there are stress marks. I'm worried that even pegging in the Spiders will do further damage. Anyone advise removing and boiling the hands?

I'd better check on all my actual Wreck-Gar's and Junkheaps; I might've left some armed!

The main break point on the mold is the handlebars snapping off because A)you manually transform them instead of auto-transforming them or B)they're too tight for even autotransforming. The hand stress marks are a known issue, but I've been searching and it seems like there aren't many reports of broken hands. The spiders seem to peg in without stressing the hands.

Have there been any issues with the handle bars since they've done the remold after Wreck-Gar's initial release?

I think the general consensus is cut them off, it's the only way to be sure.

Still? Hmm. The remold cut them down pretty far already.

I really can't think of anyone Junkheap and later who I had the same concerns as Wreck-Gar when converting them.

I have every version of the Wreck Gar mold. Multiples of all the domestics and Botcon versions. No issues or breakage with ANY of them. This figure is gorgeous. So happy to see that the Micron paint apps made it after all. I do wish they had the little transparent gem bits though. My only complaint.

Definitely not looking like a master of Metallikato there, 'Bludgeon'.

I'm sure you know this but this is based on his G1 inner body and the skull design is his pretender shell.

I didnt sign up this year as Impactor is the only one I really wanted. Needlenose would have been great with a new head and on the Air Raid body. That one looks almost matching his current IDW comic look perfect. But without that its not enough. He has such a unique looking head/face that he needed a new mould.
